BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, August 16, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Anonos, a leading provider of state-of-the-art data enablement and protection technology, has shared today that the World Economic Forum highlights the benefits of GDPR Pseudonymisation in the context of its Data for a Common Purpose Initiative (DCPI).

Individuals and organisations benefit from advanced data protection that technically controls analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) that increasingly blur our physical, digital, and biological data-driven worlds. This phenomenon, known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), is the force behind many data-driven products and services quickly becoming indispensable to modern life.

Trust and confidence 4IR data protection technologies enforce rights-preserving, ethical and secure controls increase participation and benefits from the data-driven economy like those embodied in the World Economic Forum’s Data for a Common Purpose Initiative.

4IR data protection technologies functionally separate information value - the desired insights from the data processing - from the identity of individuals about whom the data pertains. This controls the gradation of the types of data processed, allowing everything from no data to a lot of data, any volume or level of identifiability of data.

GDPR Pseudonymisation: 4IR Data Protection Technology

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforces the concept of functionally separating information value from identity in the redefined requirements for Pseudonymisation. The heightened requirements for Pseudonymisation under the GDPR mandate a new outcome-based “state” of data that:

● Protects direct, indirect, and quasi-identifiers, together with characteristics and behaviours;

● Protects at the record and data set level versus only the field level so that the protection travels wherever the data goes, including when it is in use; and

● Protects against unauthorised re-identification by generating high entropy (uncertainty) levels by dynamically assigning different tokens at different times for various purposes.

GDPR Pseudonymisation enforces state-of-the-art 4IR data protection by preventing the re-identification of individuals without the use of additional information kept separately to ensure that data is “anonymous” (in the strictest sense of the word on a global basis) “but for” the additional information which is held separately and made available only under controlled conditions for authorised purposes.
